Mount Arabí

A few kilometers away from the región of Fuente Álamo, towards Yecla in Murcia we find one of those natural jewels that you wish you had discovered before. The Mount Arabí is one of those mountains that stand out in a flat landscape, with more than 1000 meters above sea level. It was declared World Heritage by the UNESCO for its valuable natural and archeological content.

When you get to the base of the mount you will find a small esplanade to park and with a map of the area with the different routes you can take and what you can discover in each of them.

The wind and water have provoked reliefs and incredible formations on the rocks, which are being studied permanently by geologists. The rocky formations, caves and archeological remains are quite unique. Gigantic plains of rock and eroded walls next to nature make you enjoy the place every step of the way.

Mount Arabí awakens a sort of mystery, it is a place where I feel isolated from the world, but I can also enjoy the remains of past civilizations that left testimonies of the place, like cave paintings and a strange symbology on the rocks, the petroglyphs.

It is a magical place. The mount Arabí and its surroundings are wrapped in a halo of energy difficult to explain but easy to feel when you are there, walking along its routes, going up to its peak, looking at the archeological remains and caves. Fossils, cave paintings and interesting rock formations are part of this wonderful enclave where the sun is the main character. I love climbing the enormous rocks and laying there to contemplate the sky and relax, a real sensation of peace!
